The purpose of the repeater is to provide a central meeting place for anyone in or around the East Grinstead and surrounding area to experiment or make contacts using DMR.

Every 15 minutes if no digital mode activity the ID will be transmitted in CW (analogue FM) This is so that those listening can identify the repeater, if they don't have any DMR equipment.

"It is acceptable to have short QSO's, please be considerate and polite and leave gaps for others to join or make calls for people.

It is hoped users understand , it is not a "calling channel only" and we do not like to hear people taking it upon themselves to prevent others enjoying brief QSO's on 2350 (UK).

The reflector system brings flexibility and you can link elsewhere at busy times.

Please enjoy the system be considerate at all times to others."

To link to a Talk Group on Freedmr the manual dial option is available and the process is below:

Link to a Talk Group via Manual Dial “Private Call” from your radio

Menu - Contact - Manual Dial - enter Talk Group  number 2350 - PTT for up to 3 sec.

Or

Menu – Talk Group - Manual Dial - enter Talk Group number 2350 - PTT for up to 3 sec.

Manual Dial 2350 Private Call, PTT for up to 3 sec.

The repeater/hotspot will respond with a voice announcement “Linked to  2350.“

“Voice announcements come back on 5000.”

*Then via Talk Group 9 you can QSO on that Talk Group.

You can link to any Talk Group as described above.

You will need Hang Time for Private Call or Person Call set to 3 sec in the CPS.

This will drop the Private Call back to TG9 in 3  seconds to QSO on the Talk Group.

DVSPh network programming of talkgroups 4 digit and 5 digit talkgroups

Please add 80 in front  for 5 digit talkgroups, 800 for 4 digit talkgroups and for 1 digit talkgroups add 800000. Examples below:

9990 (parrot) would be 8009990

TG 23526 (Hubnet) would be 8023526 set for Slot 1.

TG1 (World Wide) would be 8000001

Any user can use Dymanic talkgroups:

When a user keys up on a dynamic talkgroup the FreeDMR system creates a subscription for that talkgroup on that repeater.  Then, for 15 minutes, the system will send audio for that talkgroup to the repeater.  15 minutes after the last transmission on a given repeater, that talkgroup will be dropped from the repeater. Moving back to the static talkgroup.
